A prayer to Saint Carlo Acutis, asking for his miraculous intercession

O God our Father, we thank you for giving us Carlo,
a model of life for young people, and a message of love for all.
You made him fall in love with your son, Jesus,
making the Eucharist his “highway to heaven.”
You gave him Mary as a beloved mother, and you made him, through the Rosary, a cantor of her tenderness.  Receive his prayer for us.  Look above all upon the poor, whom he loved and assisted.  Grant me too, through his intercession, the grace that I need (mention your intention).
Amen.

The exhibit was designed by Blessed Carlo Acutis, before his death from Leukemia at the age of 15, with the intention of bringing a greater awareness to the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.  He said, ‘“My life plan is to always be connected to Jesus”. With these few words, Carlo Acutis outlined the distinctive feature of his brief existence: living with Jesus, for Jesus and in Jesus.”’

The exhibition is comprised of 169 panels with historical descriptions and an extensive assortment of photographs and artwork of Eucharistic Miracles that took place throughout the ages in various countries of the world and which have been recognized by the Vatican

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.” John 6:47-51
